Tbh has anyone dealt with something like this in North Carolina? I'm not sure what my options are.
hostile work environment complaint ignored. I've been dealing with this for about 6 months now and the situation isn't improving.
Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?
I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.
I went through almost the exact same thing.
I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
Yeah literally had this conversation with my lawyer last month.
What trips people up most is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
Idk but you could try handling it yourself but honestly a lawyer speeds things up 10x.
Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
This happened to my coworker too.
In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.
